Network Booting Configuration Requirements
Configuring the Boot Interface
Boot interface parameters define the MIO/UMIO management LAN interface that the system will use to communicate
with the management network when using the network booting method.
with the management network when using the network booting method.
This procedure details how to configure the boot interface for reliable communications with your network server. Make
sure you are at the Exec mode prompt.
sure you are at the Exec mode prompt.
Step 1
Enter the Global Configuration mode by entering the following command:
[local]host_name# configure
The following prompt appears:
[local]host_name(config)#
Step 2
Enter the following command:
[local]host_name(config)#boot interface { local-eth1 | local-eth2 } medium
{ auto | speed { 10 | 100 | 1000 } duplex { full | half } } media { rj45 | sfp }
{ auto | speed { 10 | 100 | 1000 } duplex { full | half } } media { rj45 | sfp }
Important:
For complete information about the above command, see the Global Configuration Mode
Commands chapter in the Command Line Interface Reference.
Use port 1 for network booting.
If the speed is manually configured, you must also configure the duplex mode. In addition, you must ensure that the
network server configuration supports the speed and duplex configuration.
network server configuration supports the speed and duplex configuration.
Network speed for MIO/UMIO is fixed at 1000.
Ethernet networking rules dictate that if a device’s interface is configured for auto-negotiation is communicating with a
device that is manually configured to support full duplex, the first device will negotiate to the manually configured
speed of the second device, but will only communicate in half duplex mode.
device that is manually configured to support full duplex, the first device will negotiate to the manually configured
speed of the second device, but will only communicate in half duplex mode.
The media for MIO/UMIO port 1 is fixed at rj45.
Step 3
Save the configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.
Configuring the Boot Network
Boot network parameters define the protocols and IP address information for MIO/UMIO interfaces used to reach the
external network server that hosts the operating system software image file. To configure boot network parameters,
make sure you are at the Exec mode prompt.
